More correctly, it's illegal to serve alcohol to someone who is intoxicated. It's a good law to provent people from becoming 'drunk and disorderly' (a different law). The police are really starting to enforce this more strictly in the UK because of our international reputation.

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion … ...He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.John Stuart Mill

There are similare laws all over the world, in france there are similare laws about the english, and I think the Rushans have laws about chinese.

these laws can be traced back to wars and invasions, not because they were racist specifically but because there was a need to protect the locals from small bands of attackers who used to do quick runs for profit, the 'racism' happened because of these attacks as it was a way to both deminish the fear and unite against a common enemy.

dont think I have putt that accross 100% accuretly but cant think of a better way to word it.
